Itre believe tve may cOutidently state, 'that the general repot t of her Majesty', having left a will iR quite correct. We do not, however, pretend to know what the n.,inute details' of this will may he, yet we have'reastm ro suppNse the sandl property that has b e en left, eonsis•ing princip.dly of F r og. .thore and personals, is to be divided . between her ,Majes'y's four younger daughters ; and the ~ Q ueen's old and faithful servant, Madame Beckett durti., has been It ft her Majesty's enti-re wardrobe. So far from her Majesty's having died posf,essed of 'acrmoulated wealth, there is, we ntolersrand, a debt amounting to a few thousand pounds ; to discharge which, direction has been left that a part of the property be sold. 'Co those who have had the opportunity of knowing the extent of her Majesty's pricafe charities, this emptiness of purse will not appear extraordioary; and to those who have so rijestly hazarded the most uncharitable conjectures, for positive facts, a complete and direct ellsWer iS OM). • Her Majesty has been Queen of this country fifty-seven years ; during this period her path has been that of dignified undeviating virtue. Al ' thOugh the manners of her ;Majesty might appear cold, her, heart was not so ; and the numbers who have lived On her private bounty is the best evi dence of the truth of this assertion. The Queen ' le ver courted popul;irity, nor indeed feared the contrary. What her iMaj.sty believed to be right she did, and always acted from principle, as well as feeling. No circumstance, or accident of life, ever allowed her Majesty to relax from the most exalted propriety ; and virtue, however obscured , by birth, al ‘k sys received front her a distinguished • and ; ()turntable testimony by the most gracious reception. As a wife her Majesty .I.as left us the highest example ; and there must have been toe . laticholy moments when few could have had more to sutler. In her Majesty's, ,late long and painful :.illness the tender endearments of a mother are best exemplified in the dutiful and unwearied af fection of her children., Her Majesty's memory, as Queen of this country, must ever he associated _with all that is high and valuable, in the peat practical moral duties both of public and private life. PlOrning Post.] TIIE HIGH PRICE OF BREAD. We lately announced the important fact, that from the average prices of English Grain, for the six weeks preceding the 15th inst. it resulted that Wheat, Rye, Barley, Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour may be imported for Home Consumptif , n, till the 15th of February, 1819, when a new average will be taken, unless prices during the next immediate six weeks shall again fall below • the average import rate, in which case, all impor tation from the ports between the Eyder and the Bidassoa will be forthwith interdicted. Now :what was the plain import of the foregoing state :went ? Neither more nor less than this : that, n o twithstanding our late most abundant harvest, -yet, through the arts of forestallers, middle men, 'and boarders, corn had been artificially raised to prices which rendered it impossible for the labourer, on an average of wages, to buy bread for himself and his family ; for the prineiple on which the argument for the Corn Bill was conducted was, that an average of SOs. for Wheat, and 40s. for Riarley, ;V. would enable the labourers and lower classes to maintain themselves—and, conse quently, the admitted converse was, that higher prices would reduce them to a state of starvation►, and involve the community in circumstances of dig tress not to he contemplated wit bout horror. The Corn Bill had the effect instantly to force up the • price of corn, the ports havirig . been shut against ; and, notwithstanding, as already uoticed, our late molt abundant harvest, the prices, have continued to be forced up, by manoeuvres on • which we shall not stow enter, till, having reached the starvation point, the provisions of the Act in • favour of the labourer have opened the ports for importation. So far we shall say all was well.— , The agriculturist was protected against minimum prices by, tie ports being shut against foreign corn, and the starvation point having been reach ed, the ports, as a matter of course, have been opened to moderate the effects anticipated by the Act, in the event oh the otherwise uncontrol fable combinatiou against the labourer and ar tisan. Ought Hot the Agriculturisti to have re mained satisfied with this state of things, what : ever cause for dissatisfaction the other classes might still have found in the operations of the Corn Bill ? Any rational man will say, 'looking at the facts as they are, that of all melt the Land holders and Farmers should have been the last to complain against the effects of the Act. Mallow; dons the fact stand ? In consequence of what they are pleased to consider as the injurious operation of the Corn Bill, a general meeting of the Farmers, Landholders, and others interested in agricultural produce, for the comities of Middlesex and Essex, has been held. The ob . jest of the assembly was to petition Parliament to impose protecting duties on the importation of Corn and otl►er pro Visions, and to open the parts upon the payment of those ditties. is inte►rtled to procure the co •operation rut the agrieult oral interests in all the counties Of England, and for this purpose copies of the sub joined' Petition are' about to be sent to all the principal towns and villages, that the greatest ,possible number of signatures may he procured 'anterior to the opening of Parliament "TO THE HONOURABLE TIIE'COMMONS OF TI O If RING `DOM OF GREAT 'BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAM,ENT ASsEMBLED. " The Utimhie Petition of the several Occupiers of Lands in the County of whose names are hereunto sub- clibeJ, " Showeth, That the soil of the United Kint, , ilmn is can petent and fully adequate to the supply of its population, even if it were much more numerous than it is, with all the productions of the soil of the United Kingdom—that is to say, with corn, meal, flour, rye, oats, peai, beans, barley, beer, or bigg, wool, flax. hemp, hides, tallow, seeds, butter, cheese, poultry, vegetables of all kinds natural to the climate, apples and pears. . . " That your Petitioners, with all - humility, submit to the etot sideration and wisdom Of this Honourable that as the soil of the United Kingdom, and its productioni, are the prime source of national industry and of revenue, it is impo- litic, if this allegation be true, to admit any productions si milar In those of our own soil and climate into this country duty ft te, until the cultivation of our own soil shall have extended itself to its utmost ; but whether such allegation be correct in all it's parts, or not, it is unjust tg the occupiers of the soil to admit such productions duty free, inasmuch as every such admission tends to disable the occupiers of the soil from payment of their rents, tithes, taxes, and wages, while it leaves them subject to all the pains and penalties in- curved by the orui3sion to make gouci any of thes pay- ments " Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray, that this Peti tion way be referred to a Committee of their flonomable House, where evidence may he given in support of the allega tions it contains; and if it shall there be made appear to He a just, equitable, and necessary measure—then, but not otherwise, that all the productions of the'soil of the United Kingdom may in future be protected from the imisort of simi lar commodities duty free, in as full, ample, and beneficial a manner as the merchants and manufacturers of . the United Kingdom are, by the Navigation Act, and other statutes of the realm, protected in their shi.,ping and manufactories from foreign competition, duty free. And that your Peti tioners may have such relief as to the wis.lom of this House may seem fit." We also understand that Meetings will be held in most of the County Towns Of England 3114 Wales, for the purpose of more completely effect ing the object in view. A similar assembly of the' Land-owners, Farmers, &c. of the counties of Somerset and Gloucester; has been held at Bristol, and from the Metropolis various instructions have been distributed over the country with a view to f ac ili tate t h e c i r c u l a tion and signature of the Pe tition. Need we add,any more? The question spvaks for itself. 'Forestallers and Monopolists must be opposed by every friend to humanity—by all who seek the teal prosperity of the kingdom. There is a possibility of carrying experiments too far. 11 the experiment related only to a subject on which, if an error is committed, it would be oily needful to retrace the steps, and thus. reduce matters to the status quo, the attempt might be tolerated ; but in the case before us, if you Cmu mit an error, you may break the glass goblet I and, should this take place, pray remember that I you cannot mend it. MORNING CHRONICLE. FOR THE SUN. LETTER H. I concluded my first Letter on this Print with saying, as an utter stranger to its Editor, that no man is more willing to believe in the soundness Of his bead and heart than I ant ; hut I said no thing on the errors of the one, or the mistakes of the o ther. That his raper is illiberally partial is obvious, and a Foreigner who reads it would think we lived under a perverted Government, and that the late Mr. PITT, with his Majesty's ;Ministers since his lamented death, were a pack of political vil lains, who are conducting us to irretrievable per- dition. Not a word is admitted in it but smells of a Fox, and a defence of the vilest characters that ever annoyed an impartial and sober public.— Every thing in it breathes a sympathetic spirit for the degraded enemy of the moral and religious world, and all that relates to him. It drops a tear of compassion for a French conspiring Ge neral, and an Irish prevaricating Surgeon, who it deems ill treated, though guilty of gross mal versation; and a Hoanousa, a TIIELWALL, and a horde of others, are the gods of its idolatry...—. The poison that falls from their chalice of atm minations is its wholesome beverage, which, it is much to be feared, bath driven the uninformed to ignoble punishment. What, therefore, has such ff Paper to answer for, in making it sacred to such bastard \Vhiggism, such destructive policy, at whose altar none will worship but the devils in MILTON, assembled in Pandemoniam. This gentle rebuke, this repro bation of sin, may perhaps give it consequence, when the substitution of silence might increase its insignificance, and leave it to die by its own deleterious medicine. But it thrives, and wicked ness ever prospers. Happy, however, is it, that the hellebore of a ditch, which spreads its leaves in a morning, finds its antidote in an evening SUN. Evil ever overbalances good, and mankind must have a second croation, before virtue is able to work a counterpoise. Yet conscience, if not seared with a red-hot iron, reflecting on false but ruinous politics, may raise contrition and repent ance in a nerespaper sinner, when glorious vt ill be the hour in which they operate,, before the thought of (leant shall torment the expiring Soul, or t h e grave receive the body to perish with (ac tion and party rage. Let us hope, nevertheless, in all Christian cha rity, that time will amend the head and heart here, and prepare the vicious its politics fur re demption hereafter. AN OW , (To be continued.) INDIA. BorAny Papers to the sth August hate Iken received in Philadelphia. The Bombay Courier, of the 4th Angusit, states, that the British suc cesses over the Native Princes continved. But it appears that some unpleasant news had been re ceived at Bombay from the army. Gen. GREEN.. nut., on the 17th July, made a grand attack against the Pettsh, in which the British troops displayed unusual intrepidity. althongh their ef forts were unsuccessful. The defences were found to be of a most formidable and unexpected nature, and they were vigorously defended. Gen. GREENHILL was obliged to retire, owing to the injury he had received It Om the destructive fire of the enemy.which his force had been exposed to, and 'the garrison redoubling their efforts from the moment the attack commenced. The loss of the British, we are sorry to s ,y, was very sevrre.— The Papers also give an account Of the storming and capture of several Forts, by vat ions divisioo• of the E•tglish armies. The accoont of the defeat of the PEtstrwA, which has before been publish ed, is corroborated, with additional particulars. The insurrection at Ceylon (the Philadelphia Paper :adds) still raged with greater Itity,aceording to the last accounts, dated July 1, and it was feared would terminate with great bloodshed, as the rebels had advanced within a few miles of Nlodtort, and dispatches had been received at Nladras front General BaowNRIGG, for a rein forcement of troops. The cholera morbus still raged in India, and numbers were daily becoming victims of its fury.
